The most memorable thing about the trip was the teamwork. On this exp!ition! I saw what real field research looks like! when you have to look clean email for informants on the spot! play by ear! adapt! and make quick decisions. An especially interesting part was the interviews—you never know who you will talk to: a farmer! a teacher or a hotel owner. I definitely recommend such projects to any student interest! in science and international experience and who wants to improve their foreign language proficiency and research skills—it will look great on your resume. If you are keen on real science! the Summer School is an excellent start!
